To be more precise, they’ve arrived at Cartisan co-founder Simon’s place in Berlin, Germany, where they’re currently occupying a fairly unreasonable amount of space in his flat.

That’s because Cartisan is not a big publishing outfit but a tiny grassroots startup, founded by Simon along with former Transcaucasian Expedition mapping expert Alessandro, and born out of a (some might say unhealthy) obsession with maps, cartography, GIS, and the open source software movement – plus, of course, personal connections to the area through their work on the Transcaucasian Trail.

Simon now has the unenviable task of packing and shipping maps to all of the international backers of last year’s highly successful crowdfunding campaign, of which we have been avid supporters and promoters.

If you’re among them, we are told you can expect your map in the mail by the end of March (international postage times permitting)!
